I understand that you think he is wrong but you at least have to come in with some kind of rebuttal other than "out his ass" or "assumptions" because everyone here is only assuming Sony is still losing so much money.

It's cold hard facts that Sony is losing money.

Show me then.
Financial report doesn't prove PS3 is losing all that money.
Doesn't Sony have more internal studios and anyone else? Haven't they been working on a shit load of titles between this year and last?
Hasn't Sony been pouring money into R&D for the PSP-3000 that released last year and the PSP-Go that is releasing this year?
Hasn't Sony been pouring money into R&D for the PS3 Slim if it indeed real?
Haven't they poured more money into advertising?
I don't know exactly how much each factors into their loss for the previous year but I can say it pretty safe to say that all of that lose isn't directly connected to the PS3.
Anyone thinking so is just assuming and that is no worse than what the topic creator is doing. Am I right?
I am pretty sure if MS had around 15 studios working on stuff instead of just 4-5 they wouldn't have looked so hot either. Am I right?
If next report shows profit there will be a lot of people here who will get a nice big "I told you so".

You're just silly. Sony themselves have stated that PS3 is the big money sink. All the way since the launch in Nov 2006.
Almost every quarter the Entertainment division has lost several $100 millions and Sony has never said it's due to R&D. The division is still losing big money, including the latest quarter as demonstrated by the financial report that was released just a few days ago.

LOL. Who is the one being silly? You expect Sony to be like "Yeah the reason we are losing money is because we have motion control in development! It won't be out for a few years, and hell, we might even scrap it because its a prototype and every prototype doesn't make it through but I'll let everyone know what we are doing, so that... when the time comes to announce it... no one will care" Seriously slime... like I said this line of thought process is to advanced for you.

R&D is assumed to always take place and accout for a certain portion of the costs in the Entertainment division. Everyone knows that all the big three are developing new consoles, including a PSP2 and a PS4. Even work on a hardware revision with it's associated costs is assumed.
The only thing you can come up with that could mean extraordinary costs is the motion control tech. The costs for developing a simple wand are negilible though in the big picture of things.
